In studying Indian history, people often fail to find out the real soul of India, and as a result, their labour bears very little fruit. In the following pages, the author, whose love for his motherland was very deep and whose life stood like a mighty colossus pointing with one hand to the past and with another to the future of India, gives in a nutshell the undercurrent of Indian history, politics, and sociology.
That which is nearest is least observed. The Atman is the nearest of the near, therefore a careless and unsteady mind gets no clue to the Atman. But one who is alert, calm, self-restrained, and discriminating, ignores the external world and, diving more and more into the inner world, realizes the glory of the Atman and becomes great.
